Our new landscaping from last year is coming back and looking great!
My LAVENDER came back! Love-Love-Love it....
This is the forest-y area behind our house, which has a small pond and stream going through it. We leave it natural and when sitting on our screened porch, it feels like we are in a tree house or the middle of a forest.
AND LOOK AT MY HYDRANGEA BUSHES! The buds are ready to P-O-P!!!!
Let's hear it for SPRING!!!!
During my daily blog browsing, I found these pretty images to share.
Isn't that a beautiful baby???
Here are some "purty" horses too:
And some "purty" bedrooms!
It was sort of a "dreamy" day looking at so many pretty things. There is some really good "eye candy" out there in blogland.
I just love sunflowers. I think I may have posted some a few weeks ago, but here are some more pretty ones I found at www.commonground-debrasvintagedesigns.blogspot.com.
Aren't they gorgeous? Just sweet, simple and old-fashioned. I hope you are having a "sunny" flower weekend.

I just love sunflowers, don't you? They are just so "sunny" - wow, what a coincidence?
So, of course, I had to buy some beads to match?
You must go to www.cuteoverload.com and see the video dated 8/4/10 of the Puppy Party! You will get a bad case of the ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh's.
Have a great weekend.
Aren't these flowers just gorgeous?
Look at this crazy-looking pup, he is a Labradoodle (labrador and poodle mix).
And of course, we cannot go a day with a kitty picture!
I even have a new recipe for you! I call it Fur Ball Soup.

Is anyone as crazy about hydrangeas as I am? I love-love-love them. They seem so old-fashioned and feminine and soft. I have about six bushes in my backyard that have so many huge blooms the branches are bent to the ground. Oh how I love 'em....
So, have a real "blooming" weekend! Hahahaha, I know that is NOT funny (but I tried)!!!

I promised photos of the new landscaping, but it is not completely done. I took some pictures anyway, but he still has a couple of days' work left before completely finished. At least you can get the idea. Of course, these are all new "baby" plants and will not be very big this year, but should be gorgeous next year. Our neighbor who told us about the landscaper came over to see it and said it was about like his the year it was planted. But the very first year after, his is completely full and beautiful!!! Patience never was one of my virtues!
This is the right side of our front yard. Most of it was already there.
This is the right side as well, but near the street.
This is a corner on the right side going up towards the front door.
This is from the driveway going towards the front door.
This is the right side of the house from the sidewalk.
I'll share more after he is completely done, but even for brand new, it looks great. I need to show you a photo of my neighbor's rock garden so you can see the future potential.
Have a good week.

We did some landscape upgrades this past week and our rock garden area is done. It is so pretty, take a look:
Just kidding, here is what it REALLY looks like:
Just kidding, again. I will show REAL photos on Monday. I could not find any pictures similar to it, but this one sort of gives the overall idea (not that you believe anything now):
He has it starting at the driveway over the front of the house, weaving in and out of bushes and another smaller one up by the door, plus the area near the curb in front. Lots of big rocks and some spreading things (creeping jenny) and some daisy-like flowers and an assortable of 8-10 types of plants. It won't be real full this year, of course, but probably perfect next spring. He moved some bushes around and added some new ones, it does not even look like the same yard!
Now, on to kitchen countertops.....
Have a good weekend.

Is this garden not just too gorgeous? And it is REAL, this gal actually has this garden in her backyard! I just cannot imagine the work, but it is so awesome. Her blog is beautiful www.laughingwithangels.blogspot.com.
I was going to tell you it was MY garden and spring has really brought out the flowers. But most of you readers know me too well, so I knew you would not believe it?????!!!!!
